Chapter 473 Longevity Set
However, just as the gunshot rang out, the coffin suddenly shook on its own, emitting a muffled thud from within.

At first, everyone thought they had misheard, but then they were suddenly shocked again. This time, they heard it clearly. Although they were mentally prepared, they still felt a chill run down their spines and instinctively took two steps back.

To reiterate, even though Gao Dongxu said the creatures inside are alive, you'll still instinctively feel fear when you actually encounter them.

This movement clearly indicates that the one inside is not only alive, but also an active being.

The fat man chuckled sheepishly, somewhat frightened, "Maybe we shouldn't open this coffin—"

Wu Sansheng, however, stepped forward with a sneer and said, "We've come this far, there's no reason to give up halfway—"

As he spoke, he took out a knife, first scraped off the sealing wax at the seam, then inserted the pry bar, shouted, and pressed down hard. With a snap, the bronze coffin plate lifted up.

Upon seeing this, everyone rushed forward to help, pushing the bronze plate outwards. This plate weighed at least 800 jin (approximately 400 kg), and it took five or six minutes to move it halfway. Finally, several people simultaneously pushed it with their shoulders, flipping the plate to one side and revealing the coffin inside.

It was an exquisite jade-lid lacquered coffin.

The lid was made of a single piece of jade, and underneath was a painted lacquered wooden coffin. When everyone saw the jade lid, they all showed expressions of astonishment and surprise. Fatty Wang and Pan Zi's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Fatty Wang stepped forward, his face full of greed as he touched the jade cover, and said excitedly, "Damn, such a big piece of jade, how much is it worth? Now I can walk around like I own the place!"

Wu Sansheng sneered, "This is XJ Manas jade. If you can take it out intact, it is indeed worth a lot of money, but can you take it out? As for smashing it and taking it out, then it is worthless. A piece will only sell for a few hundred thousand."

"That's still better than going home empty-handed..." Upon hearing Wu Sansheng's words, Fatty Wang lost interest, but he still stubbornly continued to argue.

At this moment, Wu Xie blinked his curious eyes, squatted down, pressed his ear against the coffin lid, and made a gesture to tell everyone to be quiet.

Then everyone realized what was happening and held their breath, afraid of disturbing him. He listened for a long time, then turned around and said with a pale face, "Damn it, there really is breathing inside."

Everyone was stunned. To be honest, if they had heard ghostly cries from inside, they might not have been so scared, but now that the thing inside was actually breathing, it was still a bit hard to accept.

"Didn't I tell you long ago that the thing inside is alive?" Gao Dongxu stepped forward, smiling as he clapped his hands in front of everyone's shocked gazes.

"Click—swish—"

The entire jade coffin lid was slashed open by a single palm strike, breaking off a third of the coffin. Then, Gao Dongxu pushed hard, and the entire jade coffin lid slid off the coffin. He lifted one end with one hand and slowly placed it on the ground.

The entire jade lid weighed at least six or seven hundred pounds, yet Gao Dongxu pushed it aside so easily, lifting it with one hand. Everyone looked at Gao Dongxu as if he were a monster.

"Wow, amazing, Young Master Gao!" Fatty Wang hurriedly smiled and gave the horse a thumbs-up.

Ah Ning looked at Gao Dongxu, who had a faint smile on his face, her beautiful pale face full of fear, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

"Look, there are painted stories on it—" At this moment, Wu Xie shone his flashlight on the wooden coffin and stepped forward to study the paintings with shining eyes.

The crowd gathered around, examining the several narrative paintings depicting the scene of the coffin being placed inside the body. Another painting showed a massive tree with a hole in the middle, through which a bronze coffin was being carried by many skeletons, its lid still closed, while numerous people knelt respectfully nearby.

Just as everyone was engrossed in the painted decorations, a snapping sound startled them, and they instinctively stepped back.

Under the astonished and tense gazes of the crowd, the lacquered coffin rose from the inner coffin like a lotus flower, and then the coffin lid, which had split open on both sides, flipped down. This ingenious design was truly breathtaking, and the crowd was stunned.

At the same time, everyone saw a person completely wrapped in a jade figurine sit up from the coffin.

Leng Feng raised his shoulder, almost ready to fire, but Gao Dongxu grabbed his hand with lightning speed and shouted, "Don't move! He's wearing something precious, don't damage it!"

Erpang and Fugui lowered their guns with somewhat grim expressions, but the two sisters, Ruxin and Ruqing, still held their guns with both hands, aiming at the sitting jade figurine, their eyes fixed on it, worried that it might turn into a zombie.

"Put down your gun, I'm here." Gao Dongxu said to the two sisters. He was genuinely worried that these two fierce women would shoot and damage the jade figurine.

It should be noted that the jade pieces of this jade figurine are all made of meteorite jade.

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's words, the two sisters lowered their guns, but did not put them away; instead, they held them in their hands, ready to fire at any moment.

"Don't be nervous, he's not a zombie. There's a piece of wood supporting him. No wonder he can sit up," Wu Sansheng, who was standing to the side, explained.

"Damn, so that's how it is. It almost scared me to death—" Fatty Wang pounded his chest and cursed in embarrassment and anger.

The group cautiously approached, curiously examining the mysterious King Lu Shang's appearance. He was a rare wet corpse, his exposed skin so white it was almost translucent.

"Damn it, this King Lu Shang is really scheming. It's a pity he should have realized that those who are afraid of ghosts don't raid tombs, and those who raid tombs aren't afraid of ghosts. Anyone who dares to open someone else's coffin at night is a desperate scoundrel. This kind of scare tactic is underestimating us too much," Fatty Wang cursed. Everyone looked at him speechlessly, only to see him looking at them with confusion and asking, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"You fatso, are you cursing it or us?" Panzi cursed irritably.

"Ahem... When I get angry, I even curse myself." Fatty Wang was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what he meant and awkwardly coughed lightly to try and explain.

Everyone burst out laughing, speechless at his shamelessness.

At this moment, Wu Sansheng was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close. Pointing at the jade burial suit, he said, "This... this can't be the legendary jade terracotta warrior, can it? My God, so this thing really exists!"

Wu Xie, Pan Zi, Wang Pangzi, and A Ning were all completely bewildered as they looked at the incredibly excited Wu Sansheng. Wu Xie hurriedly asked what it was.

Tears welled up in Wu Sansheng's eyes as he stammered, "What...what good fortune! I, Wu Laosan, have been digging for so long, and finally...finally I've found a divine artifact—a jade figurine!"

He grabbed Wu Xie's shoulder and said, "Legend has it that as long as you wear this thing, you will become young again. Did you see that? It's true! This corpse is the proof!"

Fatty Wang's eyes widened in astonishment. He exclaimed, "I never imagined that even Qin Shi Huang couldn't find this thing, only to discover it's on this grandson! Um, Third Master? Do you know how to remove this thing?"

Wu Sansheng shook his head. "I heard that this thing can't be removed from the outside, which is a problem. Are we supposed to carry the whole corpse out?"

Gao Dongxu ignored Wu Sansheng and Fatty Wang, who were trying to figure out how to remove the jade terracotta warrior, and instead looked at Zhang Qiling, who was staring at the jade terracotta warrior with sharp, cold eyes.

Seeing Zhang Qiling's expression, Gao Dongxu seemed to have confirmed his guess.

The iron-faced figure in the jade figurine might actually be a member of the Zhang family at that time.

Back then, Tie Miansheng, in order to obtain immortality, deliberately used immortality as bait to set up a trap to lure Lu Shangwang, who was ordered to rob a tomb, to find the jade figurine. Then he faked his death to escape, and on the day Lu Shangwang succeeded, he was successfully assassinated, making Lu Shangwang a stepping stone for him.

The blood-soaked corpse that the coffin lid almost couldn't hold down when they first entered the tomb was King Mu of Zhou, who was tricked by King Lu Shang and had his jade figurine forcibly removed, interrupting his longevity and molting process.

The headless mummified corpse inside the cauldron was probably King Lu Shang, whom Tie Miansheng sacrificed to appease the wrath of King Mu of Zhou's blood corpse.

"Damn, he's actually alive—" Just then, Wang Pangzi's fierce but cowardly scream was heard.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that the corpse's chest was indeed rising and falling, as if it were still breathing. The breathing sound was now very clear, and they could even see moisture escaping from the jade terracotta warrior's headdress.

Gao Dongxu smiled and looked at Zhang Qiling, whose eyes were growing colder and whose murderous aura was emanating from him, and said, "Shall you do it, or shall I?"

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's words, everyone immediately fell silent, looking at Gao Dongxu and Zhang Qiling with a mixture of thoughtfulness, suspicion, curiosity, and confusion.

Zhang Qiling and Gao Dongxu exchanged glances, their brows furrowing slightly, and Zhang Qiling said in a deep voice, "This is my mission!"

After saying that, under the curious and puzzled gazes of the crowd, he walked to the corpse of King Lu Shang, looked at him with disgust, and suddenly a cold glint flashed in his eyes. His hand was already on the corpse's neck, and he pulled Tie Mian Sheng out of the coffin. The corpse let out a scream and began to tremble incessantly.

Everything happened so fast that everyone was stunned. Zhang Qiling said coldly to the corpse, "You've lived long enough. You can die now."

Then, the veins on his hand bulged, and with a cracking sound of bones, the corpse's limbs trembled incessantly. With a final kick, its skin quickly turned black.

Apart from Gao Dongxu, everyone else stared at Zhang Qiling in disbelief. For a moment, no one knew what to say. He simply threw the corpse on the ground, as if the jade terracotta warrior was nothing but trash and not worth mentioning.

"Gudong-"

Fatty Wang swallowed hard, his lips twitching a few times, and said, "Brother, what kind of grudge do you have against this King Lu Shang?"

“The person inside the jade figurine shouldn’t be King Lu Shang, but his strategist, Iron-Faced Scholar, right?” Gao Dongxu walked up to the jade figurine, reached out and lifted it up as if it were a dead chicken, and put the jade figurine’s body back on the coffin. He quickly found the loose thread on the jade figurine, untied it, and dragged the jade figurine down.

"So you knew all along." Zhang Qiling looked at Gao Dongxu with bright and sharp eyes and said coldly.

Everyone turned to look at Gao Dongxu, Wang Pangzi, and Wu Sansheng, who were tearing at the jade figurine. They exchanged bitter smiles, knowing that the jade figurine was no longer their concern. Since this man was personally handling it, they wouldn't even get a sip of soup.

Ah Ning stared intently at the jade figurine with her beautiful eyes, her breathing becoming erratic. Unconsciously, she had already taken two steps forward, wanting to go forward.

"You'd better behave yourself. If you dare to make any trouble, the two of us won't show you any mercy!" Ruqing suddenly turned her head and said to A Ning with a cold smile.

A Ning froze, her sharp gaze meeting Ru Qing's, and she let out a cold snort.
